I similarly was a computer kid, but took a different path (English, Philosophy), and I did end up in the same place. After teaching English for a year in Korea, I spent a year pounding out the lightest CS degree I could. Now I have a healthy dev career, and I don't regret lib arts at all (except maybe wishing I did them at the same time, instead of serially).
